Nintendo DS still twice as popular as 3DS

TG Daily reports Nintendo's DS console is still outselling the 3DS at a rate of two-to-one. Nintendo blames the poor sales figures on the lack of killer games, and it's indeed quite odd that the company still hasn't released a 3DS version of any of its most popular franchises.

"The fact is that while the 3DS is a compelling system, its cost and the lack of killer games for it mean that uptake is bound to be on the slow side — compared to the DS, which has a library of megahits stretching back years," Nintendo justified.

So far, the 3DS has garnered praise for its 3D camera application and the Street Fighter IV launch game, but inconceivably, there still isn't a game that features company icon Mario, or Pokemon, or virtually any of Nintendo's most popular franchises.
